APPLE JELLY AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME.

I6 Drawing.

relates to certain improveof jell from fruit, such as apples, and particular y from apple trimmings, that is, the skins and cores of apples.

The improvement consists, first, in the removal from the fruit, by an operation hereinafter particularly described, of certain solubles which are valueless and, In fact, a detriment so far as the jelly is concerned, but which, when separated out, have a value of their own in other industries. I

The object of the invention may therefore be said to be, first, the improvement in the grade or quality of the jelly, and, second, as the by-product of certain subthe savin stances w ich heretofore have been wasted.

In makin apple jelly from the trimmings and cores 0 apples it 'has been found of adpheric. 'The vantage to cook the fruit in a closed vessel under steam pressure greater than atmosressure usually is from ten to twenty poun s. The cooked fruit is afterward pressed in anordinary cider or filter press. I have discovered, however, that better resultsc'an be obtained if the fruit before being subjected to the cooking step is steeped at a relatively low temperature and the resultant liquor drawn oif. I have obtained excellent results in this preliminary steepin at a temperature in the neighborhood 0 one hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit, this, according to my present judgment, being the preferred temperature, but I do not necessarily limit myself to this tern perature as lower or higher temperatures may be used provided the do not reach or closely approach the boiling point. The

. solubles are removed. In addition, the

The jelly is then made from the cooked fruit in the usual manner. That is, the fruit is put througha cider or filter press and the resultant liquor, containing.

the solubles released at thehigh temperature, mixed with some sugar-like substance. I have used syrup or sugar made from corn.

I have found that a further improvement can be made in the process by steeping the fruit taken from the press in water. In fact the pressing step may be omitted entirely and the high temperature solubles washed out instead hy'this steeping operation.
